Development of a Methodology for the Determination of Technical Feasibility and Viability of Affordable Rotorcraft Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-05)
This paper describes a probabilistic design approach which has been formulated from an affordability viewpoint for the assessment of rotorcraft systems. This method places emphasis on the ability to rapidly examine the ...
HSCT Wing Design through Multilevel Decomposition
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-09)
A multilevel decomposition approach for the preliminary design of a High Speed Civil Transport Aircraft wing structure is described. The wing design is decomposed into three levels. The top level uses the FLOPS aircraft ...
Application of Probabilistic Methods for the Determination of an Economically Robust HSCT Configuration
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-09)
This paper outlines an approach for the determination of economically viable robust design solutions using the High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) as a case study. Furthermore, the paper states the advantages of a probability ...
Implementing an IPPD Environment from a Decision-Based Design Perspective
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-05)
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) embodies the simultaneous application of both system and quality engineering methods throughout an iterative design process. The use of IPPD results in the time-conscious, ...
Simultaneous Assessment of Requirements and Technologies in Rotorcraft Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2000-05)
Recent emphasis in the design and acquisition of complex systems has focused on the requirements that drive the design process. Most fundamental to the rotorcraft designer is the effect that requirements have on the system ...
DREAMS and IMAGE: A Model and Computer Implementation for Concurrent, Life-Cycle Design of Complex Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-06)
Computing architectures are being assembled that extend concurrent engineering practices by providing more efficient execution and collaboration on distributed, heterogeneous computing networks. Built on the successes of ...
Assessing the Impact of Mission Requirements, Vehicle Attributes, Technologies and Uncertainty in Rotorcraft System Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-06)
This research provides a probabilistic design environment for the propagation of design uncertainty to the system level to assist in making more educated decisions in the early stages of design. This design uncertainty is ...
A Hierarchical Aircraft Life Cycle Cost Analysis Model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-09)
This paper presents an exploratory study for identification and quantification of the economic benefits or implications associated with wing cost variations. A hierarchical cost model structure is used to determine life ...
On the Development of a Computing Infrastructure that Facilitates IPPD from a Decision-Based Perspective
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-09)
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) embodies the simultaneous application of both system and quality engineering methods throughout iterative design processes. The use of IPPD results in the time-conscious, ...
An Application of Artificial Intelligence for Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-07)
The knowledge required to integrate aircraft manufacturing characteristics and constraints into the structural design process is beyond the proficiency of a single engineer. Concurrent Engineering (CE) enables the integration ...
